The mortar was rated as the most practical weapon.

This kind of thing is light and practical.

Especially extremely suitable for this kind of mountain warfare.

Because this mortar has no maximum elevation angle limit.

Give a slightly open place in front of you, and a parabola can be smashed through!

And...... The most important thing is that mortars are not expensive to build and are easy to make!

With the current industrial level of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as the power is at full capacity, it is not a problem to produce hundreds of thousands of pieces a month!

And the cost of mortars can also be insanely compressed in some places.

If Lu Yuan remembers correctly, extremely inexpensive mortars were built during the Republic of China.

For example, the mortar gun carriage has been changed from iron to wood, and the steel base has become a pig iron base.

There are a lot of things that can be cut in cost.

Of course, the reduced mortar is inferior to normal in terms of performance and durability.

However, this is not the southern bandits' trouble.

Just get it out and use it first.

Moreover, for the bandits in the south, mortars are dimensionality reduction strikes.

To put it simply, it is still at the level of World War I, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is directly on the strength of World War II.

It can be said that with such a thing as mortars, it will definitely not take long for the bandits in the south to solve it.

Three months to prepare, two months to attack, and one month to finish.

If you put it on a pig, the pig will beat it.

If he, Gu Lie, took the mortar he made out and took one more day to end the banditry, he Gu Lie would be sorry for the [God of War] label on him!

Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie immediately stepped forward to check the mortar design drawings that Lu Yuan had placed on the table.

However, it is a pity that these two people are not craftsmen.

I don't look at the blueprints.

Looking at so many design drawings, the two of them were not only confused.

Of course, although the design drawings are incomprehensible, the two of them can at least understand what this cannon looks like.

Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief and said:

"That's it...... Urgent...... Mortar...... This seems like a small tube...... Can this be launched? ”

Lu Yuan put another cigarette in his mouth, looked at Gu Qingwan and smiled.

And Gu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then pursed her lips, then picked up the foreign fire box from the table and lit it again for Lu Yuan.

Immediately, after Lu Yuan took a puff of cigarette, he said a little proudly:

"Don't worry, although it's not too far, but there must be a distance of one or two thousand meters~"

In fact, a real mortar can have a range of more than three thousand meters.

However, it is limited by the material, and by the quality of the gunpowder here.

Lu Yuan said a compromise.

And a distance of one or two kilometers is enough.

At this time, Gu Lie was already fascinated, although Gu Lie couldn't understand it, but it didn't matter.

Importantly......

Isn't that ......

Can you go to the bandits?!

After Gu Qingwan finished lighting a cigarette for Lu Yuan, she picked up the papers again, looked at Lu Yuan and said curiously:

"And how much does this thing cost?"

This one......

Lu Yuan really didn't calculate it in detail.

After Lu Yuan blinked, he said:

"I haven't done the math in detail, but it's definitely more expensive than the charter you drafted before.

At the very least, you can save a lot from the army alone.

With this thing, the army does not need to charge, it only needs to fire artillery outside.

Then drive the gang out of the nest and finish it off by the elite forces outside. ”

When Gu Qingwan heard this, she also nodded again and again, this is true.

Although she Gu Qingwan doesn't know much about military things, at least the size of this thing alone is destined to be very cheap.

And most importantly, with this compulsion...... mortars, then, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not need a massive charge.

This will reduce the number of deaths.

This alone is enough.

When Gu Qingwan looked at the manuscript paper in her hand and was extremely happy, Lu Yuan sat aside and smoked a cigarette:

"Why don't we go to the forging bureau today, and I'll get you to have a look?"

Although this design was made by Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan also wanted to design it himself to see the effect.

Otherwise, it's really a little uneasy.

Huh?

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie were both stunned, and then both of them immediately nodded excitedly.

Of course this is good!

Even if Gu Qingwan still has a lot of things to do this afternoon, she wants to follow and take a look.

After all, what Lu Yuan said was so amazing, the two of them really didn't believe it.

But......

Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Lu Yuandao:

"Can you get it out in the afternoon?"

Lu Yuan nodded confidently and said:

"Of course, this thing is actually very simple to build, just add a thimble under the barrel, and the slightly more troublesome thing is the impact fuse in front of this shell.

But that's okay, it's really not good, just install the tail fin's excitation device, and let you see how far this thing can fly.

But that's it, can you get gunpowder, that thing seems to be controlled, and there is no one in the forging bureau. ”

Gu Qingwan was stunned, and even nodded directly:

"No problem, I'll send someone to the forging bureau in a moment!"

After Lu Yuan nodded, he said directly:

"Send it to the armor factory, let's go after eating in a while.

But...... This map or something.,It should be a secret.,You just take it out and show it to me.,It's okay, right? ”

Gu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Yuan and smiled:

"Don't worry, no one will trouble me."

With the mortar drawings in her hand, Gu Qingwan's heart couldn't be happier.

How much money you have to save!

The previous constitution drawn up by the cabinet was that the crackdown on bandits would take at least two years.

Because this strong attack could not be carried out, the plan of the cabinet and the military department was to besiege these bandits in the mountains step by step.

Hold the mountain roads and cut off the food and water sources for these bandits.

When these people are cornered, they come out and surrender themselves.

But how many mountains are there in the south?

There is also food and drink in this mountain.

Just by eating the things in the mountains, these people will not be able to get out for a while.

The army surrounded the mountains for two years.

In the past two years, it has been an astronomical amount of money to send supplies to the troops stationed in the mountains.

This war has been at least two years, and the figure given by the previous cabinet alone is close to 20 million.

This money is really fatal for the Great Zhou Dynasty, which has just escaped from the war and is in ruins.

After all, these bandits are still trifle, the important thing is the gilded dynasty.

The Gilded Dynasty is now struggling to survive, and it must be exterminated in the next few years!

Otherwise, when the Gilded Dynasty comes to breathe, the weeds will be inexhaustible.

Let this southern bandit drag on, to put it seriously, it really wants to drag the national fortune!

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that those bandits in the south are so unscrupulous.

Knowing that the imperial court has no time to clean them up now.

So I'm afraid I don't want to grab more in the past few years, so that I can survive in the future.

But now......

With Lu Yuan's mortar!

The front only needs to be well prepared, and the back is that it can be pushed all the way.

This Lu Yuan's thing is really comparable to a bicycle and a thresher!

No, this thing is what the Great Zhou Dynasty needs the most at the moment!

Originally, the war of at least two years could now be resolved in half a year, how could Gu Qingwan be unhappy?

Originally, because of the previous incident, Gu Qingwan hated this Lu Yuan a little.

And now the words......

Even if Gu Qingwan wanted to keep her face tight, she still couldn't help but smile when she talked to Lu Yuan.

Moreover...... This guy really cares about people.

But I still think of something that leaks secrets and doesn't leak secrets.

But...... Obviously, Gu Qingwan was thinking too much.

Because after Gu Qingwan finished speaking, no one would trouble her.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows seriously and said:

"I didn't say if you would be okay, I meant that I wouldn't be okay, and I wouldn't gouge out my eyes and cut out my tongue when the time came, right?"

Gu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then the trace of smile on her face disappeared instantly, and the next second she looked at Lu Yuan and said:

"No!"

Lu Yuan nodded, and he felt that he was fine.

Just in case, just ask.

After that, Gu Qingwan just looked at Gu Lie, who was holding the drawings on the side, and smirked and pouted:

"Don't laugh, you go to the military department now, and send the gunpowder directly to the armor factory according to the gunpowder on this paper, and we will go directly after eating in a while."

Gu Qingwan said as she got up and took the manuscript paper in Gu Lie's hand and carefully sorted it out.

I'm afraid that my younger brother's saliva will flow to it and break it.

Gu Lie hurriedly said excitedly:

"I won't eat it, I'll personally take things to the armor factory, you eat quickly, and go directly to the armor factory after eating.

I'll ask the people from the armor factory to prepare a workshop, and the materials will come out. ”

With that, Gu Lie left directly.

What kind of food are you eating!

Gu Lie was really not hungry at all.

After Gu Lie left, there were only two people left in this room, Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan.

What do you think is going to happen?

Not really.

As soon as Gu Lie left, he began to take the dishes, and Lu Yuan directly lowered his head to eat, ignoring Gu Qingwan at all.

Although this Gu Qingwan is beautiful, she is on par with her daughter-in-law in appearance.

But what......

This temper is far from good.

Lu Yuan was not interested at all.

Of course, Lu Yuan was not interested in other women.

How beautiful her daughter-in-law is, her daughter-in-law is gentle, and she knows how to take care of people.

Now that she is pregnant with herself, Lu Yuan really wants to love her daughter-in-law who is beautiful and mature in appearance, but pure like a white rabbit in her heart.

If this Gu Qingwan is the same as Wang Yulan and Chen Taohua's character.

Lu Yuan is willing to say a few more words, just friends.

But with this kind of character, Lu Yuan feels that it is quite tiring to become friends with this kind of person.

Therefore, Lu Yuan lowered his head and ate wildly, and he didn't care about Gu Qingwan at all.

And Gu Qingwan was not very hungry, she just sat on the side, looking at the manuscript paper in her hand with joy in her eyes.

Although Gu Qingwan didn't understand it, she was happy.

I also sighed in my heart, what is in Lu Yuan's head, how can he do anything!!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingwan put down the manuscript paper in her hand, glanced at Lu Yuan, who was bowing his head and eating wildly, and couldn't help but shake his head and said:

"You can eat slowly, and I won't rob you."

After Lu Yuan raised his head and glanced at Gu Qingwan, he didn't speak.

Instead, they continued to eat with their heads down.

After a full meal.

Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan went downstairs.

Before leaving, Gu Lie cleared all the accounts.

After the two of them went out, Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qingwan and said curiously:

"How are you going?"

Lu Yuan would definitely not take Gu Qingwan there.

Lu Yuan rode a horse, and if he took Gu Qingwan there, wouldn't this Gu Qingwan have to sit in front of him?

No way!

The front of this man's horse is like the co-pilot of the car on Earth.

can only be left to sit with his wife~

And Gu Qingwan waved her hand and said:

"You don't have to worry about me, my family lives near here, I'll go home and take the carriage."

Lu Yuan nodded:

"Gotcha."

After that, Lu Yuan rode a horse and galloped towards the armor factory.

…………

In the afternoon, there was nothing more to say.

As before, Lu Yuan made up his own tinkering, and Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie watched from the side.

This Gu Lie even found the soldiers of the military department, guarded the door, and no one was allowed to come in.

This made the people in the armor factory curious, why did Lu Yuan still connect with the military department now.

It's more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Yuan finished it.

I took the GI and some things to the wasteland outside the armor factory for testing.

The mortars that Lu Yuan is making now are not loaded with explosives, but only put gunpowder in the tail device.

Just to see how far this mortar can hit.

As for the real power of this mortar, it can explode.

Then you have to go to a professional venue to test it.

Otherwise, although it is a suburb of the imperial city, there are still ordinary people, and it will not be good if it flies crookedly and injures people.

Lu Yuan set up the barrel of the cannon, put a cannonball in his hand at the entrance of this mortar, and looked at Gu Lie who looked curious next to him and said:

"When this thing is fired, you must remember to let go directly, and never throw it in.

Otherwise, if you add that little extra external force, you will collide with the shell itself, and it will explode. ”

Gu Lie nodded again and again, and then, Lu Yuan let go.

There was a muffled thud.

The shell of this mortar is fired instantly after falling into the barrel and hitting the bottom pin!

This cannonball flew directly, and Lu Yuan and the three of them definitely couldn't see where it flew.

But there are GIs.

Immediately, the GI went to look for it, and a few minutes later, the shell was found in an explosion zone predetermined by Lu Yuan.

Finally, the distance is measured.

1800 meters!

Lu Yuan looked at Gu Lie, who was excited to know the measurement distance, and raised his head with a smile and said:

"And that's not even the longest distance, and the strongest thing about the mortar is that it's a complete parabola, that is, something that can hit behind cover.

If you meet someone hiding behind the mountain in the future, a cat, you can blow him up directly with a parabola! ”

At this time, Gu Lie, who was so excited, immediately turned around and looked at Gu Qingwan, who also showed a smile next to him, and said:

"Sister, see it, now I can go to suppress the bandits, right?"

Gu Qingwan was stunned, but she almost forgot that there was such a thing.

Gu Qingwan stood there and was a little silent.

She really didn't want her brother to go to the bandits......

But...... Gu Qingwan didn't want her brother to achieve nothing.

This Gu Qingwan was very entangled......

But this matter had been agreed before, and in the end, Gu Qingwan looked at Gu Lie and said:

"Since you have agreed, my sister will not regret it, you will be a deputy general in the army."

Adjutant general?!

Gu Lie was stunned, and he was about to quit on the spot, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"What kind of lieutenant general, with this kind of thing, that is, all the way to the flat, do you still have to command this thing, as long as there is no problem with the head, you know how to fight!

I dislike the Lord, I'm going to lead the elite troops deep behind enemy lines!! ”

Lead elite troops and go behind enemy lines?!

Can this Gu Qingwan agree?!

Of course I can't say yes!

Almost instantly, Gu Qingwan gritted her teeth and said:

"Impossible!!

It is absolutely impossible for you to go deep behind enemy lines, don't you think! ”

Gu Lie saw that his sister's side would definitely not work, and immediately turned his head to look at Lu Yuan, who had just taken out a cigarette from his pocket next to him.

"Brother, say it quickly, you said that I should go to the elite army, my sister can say it in person before, as long as she loses, what you say is what!!"

Gu Lie almost wanted to go crazy.

But this is his sister, Gu Lie didn't dare, he could only hope that Lu Yuan would come out to speak.

This Brother Lu Yuan is simply his savior!

At this time, Gu Qingwan also looked at Lu Yuan, who was standing next to him with a cigarette in his mouth and groping for a foreign fire box up and down.

Well?

When Lu Yuan heard this Gu Lie call himself, he also looked up at the two sisters and brothers in a little confusion.

I almost forgot about it.

At this time, Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie looked at Lu Yuan with a slightly different look.

Gu Lie's incomparable expectations, expecting that his brother Lu Yuan would quickly say that he would lead the elite troops.

And Gu Qingwan's eyes were still so indifferent and ruthless.

But ...... With a hint of pleading......

Lu Yuan caught this glimmer of eyes, and was silent for a while.

Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Gu Lie with a grin and said with a smile:

"You go to the elite army of a hammer, it's good for you to be a lieutenant, you listen to your sister."

At this time, Gu Qingwan really didn't expect that this Lu Yuan would suddenly stand on her side.

After all......

From the beginning, Lu Yuan has been working with himself.

Almost instantly, Gu Qingwan's majestic and indifferent beautiful face, as if the ice of ten thousand years had melted, and a smile of incomparably happy appeared.

The eyes lit up.

Immediately, Gu Qingwan walked quickly to Lu Yuan, struck a match, and lit the cigarette in Lu Yuan's mouth with his hand.

Then Gu Qingwan stood next to Lu Yuan, raised her head slightly, looked at her younger brother proudly and said:

"I heard it, I listen to your brother about this~"

Gu Lie was numb when he saw the scene in front of him.

No......

Why are you two like a couple?!!

Thank you book friend 2020090 brother for the 100 book coin reward, thank you very much~

Today's three watches are over~
